[Imaplib2-devel] Feature request Support RFC-6855 UTF8

[Chris C. <ch...@es...>]

Hello Piers, and imaplib2-devel,

Thanks for imaplib2!

imaplib in python 3.5.2 has implemented support for RFC-6855, which 
supports UTF-8 encoding in mailbox names, usernames, passwords, email 
address, and message headers, with the new "enable" method, which looks 
for CAPABILITY UTF8=ACCEPT or UTF8=ONLY and replies "ENABLE UTF8=ACCEPT" 
to the server.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/imaplib.html
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6855.html

Would it be possible request a backport the rfc6855 UTF8 support from 
imaplib in python 3.5.2, to imaplib2.  This would allow offlineimap, and 
other applications which use imaplib2, to communicate with modern imap 
servers which are now upgraded and supporting everything UTF8 encoded.

-Chris
